User Fit-N-Funky posted an enticing thread late last night to the Reddit forum Skincare Addiction. "I started by cleaning my face with a scrubber and hot water. Moved on to a nose strip and finally a peel off face mask. I am surprised at how much my pores closed up after some light treatment. really goes to show that a little goes a long way," read the initial post, which was followed by a link to a series of photos of her congested pores taken by a mini USB microscope. Ready?

The before photo shows the user's cheeks, nose, and forehead before a full cleanse — i.e. dirty AF with what we assume is a concoction of dirt and oil, perhaps makeup.

After

After peeling off a pore strip, the congestion is visibly relieved on the nose. "I started with a nose strip. As you can see, they really do a great job cleaning deep into the pores," they wrote, captioning a photo of a freshly vacuumed pore.

Next up: A peel-off mask to grab whatever impurities are left. The last few photos show smoother lines and seemingly smaller pores — a full 180 from the first round of shots.
